The town of Skowhegan added two lssessors
to the regular board this spring in order to
take new valuation of the town and the re-
suit has been the discovery of over 100000
worth of property that has not paid cent Of
tax for more than 20 years. In the village
alone they found mOre than 81, 600 worth of
property that has never been on the assessors
books. A like investigation here would no
doubt be attended with like results, and. it
would also explain the willingness of certain

A queer Story from Japan.

Ndgaski Letter to the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
There is little stir in medical circles here
that may make NagaslSi known to all the world
in this connection, and Pasteur and the hypno-
tizing Partisan will find themselves deposed as
lions in medical society for a young peasant
woman from village near here who has q new
theory and cure for rheumatism Many of
those short-tempered people who have had
rheumatism in their knees and govt in their
toes have declared that the sensation was as if
something were gnawing at their muscles and
this Japanese woman says that it
is in reality that. Rheumatism, &C.
small parasites Under the skin. a Small insect
that gnaws and bites and causes the untold
misery and all the twinges of that ailment She
has had for one of her patients here a grizzed
and skeptical sea captain, and as sea captains
may always be believed except about the sea ser.
pent, his case ought to settle it. The mariner
was completely laid up with his aing knees,
and the Japanese woman was sent for.
She claimed to see the move
skin, ordered foot baths of bran and
hot rice brandy and came another day with a
little steel hook and nipped small white insects
out by the dozen. BY the stories it must be a
large white flea. for one of them when brought
out to the surface made spring and was lost
to sight, One of the bystanders felt sting
and the next had sore place on his arm, and
cutting into it was found that the rheumatism
bug was there, burrowing like tick.
The regular practitioners are still sceptical
about the new theory of rheumatism. They
put one of the insects under a microscope and
decided that, by its organism, it never could
have lived under the surface of the skin away
from the air, and that she must have carried It
under her finger nail and produced it at the
proper moment To this the sea captain enters
vigorous denial. He says that she has taken
the insects from his knees and ankles by the
hundreds now, and that all have been killed in
his sight, and that he is growing better and can
feel the relief after each treatment

A manly youth and a maiden fair,
Gathering leaves, in the autumn weather,
Tinted with colors most rich and rare.

With your cheeks of red and your hair of

And your heart the frost that the leaf receives
Ere its hues are seen, for your heart is cold.'
The maiden answered: 1T may be SO;
You've known me long and, perhaps, know

But the frozen leaf soon thaws, you know,
After tbs gathered and properly pressed.
